Mapisarema 52

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. Dhoegi muEdhomu paakanga aenda kuna Sauro akamuudza kuti: “Dhavhidhi aenda kumba kwaAhimereki.” Ko, unozvikudzirei pane zvakaipa, iwe murume wesimba? Unozvikudzirei zuva rose, iyewe unonyadzisa pamberi paMwari?

TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

2 Rurimi rwako runofarira zvokuparadza; rwakaita sechisvo chakarodzwa, iyewe unogara uchingonyengera.

Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

3 Unoda zvakaipa pachinzvimbo chezvakanaka, kureva nhema pachinzvimbo chokutaura chokwadi. Sera

You have loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza, iwe rurimi runonyengera!

You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

5 Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakuburutsira kukuparadzwa kusingaperi: Achakubvuta agokubvisa mutende rako; achakudzura kubva munyika yavapenyu. Sera

Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti,

And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

7 “Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake, asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji, uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!”

“Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”

8 Asi ini ndakaita somuti womuorivhi unokura zvakanaka mumba maMwari; ndinovimba norudo rusingaperi rwaMwari, nokusingaperi-peri.

And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,

9 Ndichakurumbidzai, nokusingaperi nokuda kwezvamakaita; ndichavimba nezita renyu, nokuti zita renyu rakanaka. Ndichakurumbidzai pamberi pavatsvene venyu.

I thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
